The problem with Ducati (Moto GP)

[Two dogs]

This is a long but very interesting read if you have the time 
seems to be an un biased and educated opinion of the woes of the Red team

yeah, good read. I always knew it was complex but that explained it well.
I like Rossi and the Burgess team, but it seems they totally underestimated Casey's talent?
Even if they get the Duke singing they'll still be hard pressed to beat Stoner.
I can see  Stoner on top for more than a few years yet...

Good read,

    makes you wonder how they will fix the problem and when we see Ducati racing from now on you will be thinking, which problem are they working on (motor, carbon or aluminium, lengh of frame, tyres) or what else they need to do to fix that front end.

Thanks for that Double Dogs.

I've been following the GP's since the Lawson, Mamola, Schwantz and Rainey days (Early Doohan  ) and it appears that with rise of the "Kiddies College" of GP riders it has become even more obvious that these riders (With some exceptions) appear to be only capable of riding perfectly set-up and tuned, "2 wheels inline" bikes! 

The Americans and, in particular the Australians are able to ride the "Mongrel" bikes and get the best out of them. Australian riders generally have been able to get a "PIG" and take it by the scruff of the neck and win on it!

Even with the advent of all the "Electrickery" involved with the modern day GP bike, it seems that the "Special" rider will be able to do better! I reckon this will become even more obvious with the larger capacity (Power) coming in next year!?

I agree with Monsta! I reckon Jeremy and Valentino TOTALLY underestimated Caseys' efforts on the Duc!

Well said dragonworld. My thoughts exactly
